A Spoonful of Genetics

According to Amy's Law of Genetics, I just need to marry somebody a little less good-looking than me and my kids are guaranteed to be pretty attractive. You know it's true.

Now, have you ever seen two attractive people have a child that was...well not as attractive? Or what about the homely couple that end up having a very comely child. It's not some kind of genetic lottery, people. it's genetics, and there's a rule.

2 attractive people = 1 okay child
2 unattractive people = 1 gorgeous child
2 average people = 1 average-looking child

It's that simple! If you want to get complicated it could look something like this

1 attractive person + 1 unattractive person = 1 average-looking child
1 attractive person + 1 average-looking person = 1 little-less-than-average-looking child
1 unattractive person + 1 average-looking person = 1 little-more-than-average-looking child

So how do you figure out how attractive of a person you need to marry in order to secure for your children good looks? Again, simplicity by definition. Just rate yourself by our highly scientific scale.

Rate your looks on a scale from World's Ugliest Dog to Orlando Bloom/Megan Fox. If you are a 1-3 you're unattractive. 4 is a little less than average. You know what 5 is. 6 is a little more than average and 7-10 is attractive.

Now you have all you need to get out there and start producing good-looking babies. I believe in you!
